Working on a database compatibility tool. So your app works on SQL Server 2022 on-prem, but does it work on Azure SQL DB, AWS RDS, GCP CloudSQL, etc? These cloud flavours have a compatible SQL dialect, but it's often details like missi

Same. When I started running 5 years ago, I started with under 1km runs. Slowly built up to 5km runs over a 3 or so years. The hardest bit is getting out bed, once that habit is in the rest is easy. I also found that not timing myself worke

TLDR; A time traveller, named Besso, came back to push Einstein to formulate his theory General Relativity earlier than he would have done on his own. This accelerated the technological growth of humanity over the next two centuries to such

This was my first thought. My guess is the team making the app are all about it's potential and fb are happy to give it a go because of the potential for improved data capture

The controller in the top left is for the SNES (sorry). Really nice work though!

Yeah, I like the idea of treating SQL Server like it's just a process and not the entire server. Are you planning to do that in production?

Haha, thanks for your answer Brent. I think you're right about VMs. SQL Server on docker in prod is kind of a thought experiment of mine at the moment. I'd love to hear from anyone who is even just thinking of doing this. > dyn

I really like AGs but I'm not sure I will love them on Linux. It still feels like it's early days for SQL Server's HA on Linux.

That's a new reason, I like it. Books Online has got better over the years to be fair to it.

I've been doing similar stuff with docker in my CI pipelines. So are you testing your app on Linux SQL Servers and then deploying to Windows SQL Servers? Should be OK...

Do those charges include the cost of Windows licenses?

As good as Pacemaker is I don't really like the look of using it to achieve HA for SQL Server. Hopefully this will be better in 2018.

That is a worry. I guess it could depend on the uptake of SQL Server on Linux though.

by james_anderson 9y ago
Yeah, I agree. Each has the odd thing the other doesn't but it is hard to justify the cost of SQL Server over Postgres

Cool, I've seen this mentioned as a potential reason, so it's good to hear of a real-world example
